Effect of Turn Region Treatments on the Pressure Loss Distribution in a Smooth Square Channel with Sharp 180° Bend

An experimental investigation is carried out to study the effect of several turn treatments like single guide vane (short and long) and multiple guide vanes on the pressure drop distribution in a square cross-sectioned smooth channel with a sharp 180° bend. The sharp 180° turn is obtained by dividin...
